Florida will probably need Weiss to give a little bit of a discount to stay in Sunrise. There will be a lot of interest for him in free agency. He&#39;s not a true top line center but he will be highly valued as one of the better 2 way centers in the league. He&#39;s an asset. Hopefully they can agree on a deal. Would like to see Mueller re-signed. He has some value again with getting through the season. There will be some outside interest. Matthias showed up this season. Big body, durable but he has to sign for a realistic price. Tallons got a busy offseason ahead.</p>King Blabber commented on 'PANTHERS CLEANOUT: Stephen Weiss, Jose Theodore Hope to Return ...

He made the Versteeg, Fleischman line go. When healthy 80% he&#39;s far better than a lot of guys at 100%. Bring him back if he&#39;s healthy enough for a year maybe two, but he has to be healthy and able to play. He&#39;s an asset when he is. </p>Go Away Weiss commented on 'PANTHERS CLEANOUT: Stephen Weiss, Jose Theodore Hope to Return ...

He&#39;s been with the team for far too long and really, let&#39;s be realistic-- he&#39;s not a star center fwd. Please do not offer him another deal, for the love of hockey.</p>me.yahoo.com/a/SUtiizZyquIGAhZDVGhU7DUaRboV8A-- commented on 'PANTHERS CLEANOUT: Stephen Weiss, Jose Theodore Hope to Return ...

When he is playing his normal game he makes the Panthers so much better it would be very dangerous to let him move on and I could see the Devils getting him to center Kovalchuk, the Devils coach would like him unless of course they fire him for the losing season. With Versteeg out until November Panthers could be out of the playoff race before Versteeg gets back. They cannot afford to lose Weiss. There is a huge shortage of goal scoring and as great as all the young guys are they are still a few years away from making an impact with the exception of Huberdeau but you need more than one guy scoring to win and you can&#39;t rely on the hope of Matthias and Kopecky repeating this year&#39;s scoring. Panthers are in dire need of goal scoring, letting Weiss go would make scoring even tougher... I don&#39;t like the Panthers chances for next year without Weiss and Versteeg out until November at best. Tallon has his work cut out for him this summer. No golf for you Dale.</p>
